And it's all over!! New Zealand came out with the win 34-17 making them the first ever team to hold 3 titles. Australia was making a come back 21-17 but the ball was intercepted in the last 8 minutes completely dropping the momentum they were building. One more try and they would of been leading for the first time that whole game. David Pocock and Tevita Kuridranis were the two Wallabies try scorers and Bernard Foley scoring both the conversions for those tries. Dan Carter (New Zealand) scored 3 goals in that half widening their score margin. Beauden Barret and Ma'a Nonu were the two try scorers for New Zealand that half with Dan Carter only converting one of those tries. I really thought Australia was about to make a comeback and win that but I was wrong. It is sad to see my team lose once again but they played amazingly well this time round and we almost lost to Scotland in the Quarter finals so making it to the finals was still great. This only means Australia is going to train harder and improve and come back in 2019 in Japan better than ever! I hope you guys enjoyed the match as much as I did, even though my team lost it was one of the best games I have ever watched! Big congrats to the #1 team in Rugby Today New Zealand All Blacks and all the retiring players, you have all done well! Pictures of some of the events from the 2nd half below!
